MLB.com ranked the Pirates draft #1.



"1. Pirates

The Pirates collected the best college position player (Davis), the best high school left-hander (Solometo, second round) and the best two-way prospect (Chandler, third) as well as one of the better athletes (White, supplemental second). That quartet will soak up much of Pittsburgh's bonus pool, but it also took a projectable Vermont prep right-hander who impressed at the inaugural Draft Combine (Owen Kellington, fourth), one of the top fifth-year collegians and the NCAA Division I leader in total bases (Dallas Baptist second baseman Jackson Glenn, fifth) and a pitchability college starter with a high floor (California righty Sean Sullivan, eighth)." - MLB.com (Mayo)

Chandler to be a two-way player?

The Pirates have won 14 division or league championships.  So . . .

not that my kid is a pro but playing more than one sport can definitely slow development in another. He was all state in cross country as a sophomore. As a junior he decided to kick on the football team (Friday night games) and still run cross country on Saturday. He never equaled his sophomore time. More because football practice kept him from running as often as he had previously.
